hello everyone, can we just address the elephant in the room?

i've bought mxwell 4 at release and honestly i was quite disappointed to a point i stopped using it, because the price and the plugin disaster (im a softimage user) didnt really justify what i got in exchange.

now i think quite some time has passed, what is the status of multi gpu support and layered additive materials?

Hi,

can we expect Additive materials on GPU as part of this next version?

This is the feature I miss the most, and is essential to make GPU useable for a lot of Maxwell users.

I agree, but the answer is no.

Well, additives won't be ready in the next version, but they will definitively be ported to GPU at some point.
